Objectives: Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes motor deficits, urinary incontinence and neuropathic pain. This study has been accomplished to provide a protocol for photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) to gain a significant reduction in complications of the SCI. To date, it has not yet been determined whether a more prominent effect would be achieved by increasing the number of days of irradiation or daily dose of PBMT.
Methods: The study was performed in two steps. In the first step, comparison between the effects of PBMT (90sec), separately for two and four weeks on pain, and also improvement of movement (BBB score) was made. In the second step, the comparison to evaluate the effects of different durations of radiation (27, 45, 90 and 117 seconds) was done. Also, Oxidative stress and fibroblast invasion and time to gain spontaneous of urination .. View More»
